Well, we got a bit of much needed rain! Hoorah!
Now, go check your rain gutters. Are they draining properly? It's easier to clean them before it freezes. Do you have extensions or splash blocks in place? Look for any areas where water puddles against the foundation and make corrections as needed. Debris on the roof? clean it off. Roofs are designed to shed, not hold water. Time to get thoses hoses removed from the faucets, it's getting on to freeze time. You're gonna want to think about getting your sprinkler system blown out soon, make the call...get on their list.
Enjoy the weather but remember, a home requires regular maintenence to perform well.

Idaho has no state licensing for Home Inspectors.
No minimum requirements. When you call around asking for quotes, are you only looking for the least expensive inspection?
I spent 30 years in the construction industry prior to becoming an ICA certified home inspector in 2013, and an InterNACHI certified home inspector in 2014. In 2022 I became a board certified Master Inspector.

Water pressure on a residential plumbing system should be between 45 and 70 PSI. Lower and you just don't have enough pressure to get things done, higher and the risk of damage to the plumbing system and fixtures arises.
If you are in a newer development, water pressure may need to be adjusted periodically at the pressure regulating valve. Water pressure in new subdivisions drops as houses are added. This picture is from an older home, you just never know.

Many buyer's are at the "starter home" level, which is still around 200k. That used to be a really nice house.
Some of the traps I see are the cosmetic issues are addressed, like paint, floorcoverings, and sometimes cabinetry. Often the functional systems such as roof, plumbing, electrical and HVAC are ignored.
If you are barely able to make the payment, insurance and property taxes, how will you deal with failure of a major system?
I have seen some homes lately where attention was paid to major systems over cosmetics and I must say, bravo!
A good home inspection will reveal the true condition of the home, don't say "I do" without a background check!

It was a lot of years before there were but a handful of $200K houses in the Magic Valley. Now that number appears to be the entry level home, and I have inspected quite a few of them lately.
I look at the financing stats on that amount of money, and see something like $48K down and 1300 per month for 30 years. I'm not trying to be a crusader, your parent, or your financial coach, but I will say this: Do NOT get so excited that you qualified for a home loan, and will no longer be renting, that you skip the Home Inspection. Paint, LVP flooring, and Lowe's cabinets do nothing for the major systems and components of the home, which are largely out of view during a virtual, or in person walk through. Here are a few visual examples of what I am taking about.
This post is, in no way, intended to point blame at anyone in particular. Just that the law of supply and demand have driven prices of even the most basic of dwellings to a serious level and that repairs are not included in the mortgage payment.

If you're getting ready to list your house and are skipping a pre-listing inspection, I encourage you to do a few things to soften the potential blow from a buyer's inspection once you are under contract. If you want a pre-listing inspection, give me a call Blue Wing Inspections LLC
1) Have your HVAC system serviced, have the documentation available: especially a a service sticker on the air handler with date and brief description of service "tune up, regular service, etc"
2) Have the backflow test sticker on the anti-backflow device for the sprinkler system.
3) Clean out the rain gutter system, including downspouts. Straighten out any damaged elbows and have splash blocks or extensions in place.
4) If you have a wood burning fireplace or stove, get it serviced / cleaned and make the receipt available.
5) Inspect the crawlspace: look for standing water leaks, or signs of leaks. Make sure all bare dirt is covered by the v***r barrier. Remove all porous debris such as wood and cardboard. Replace any fallen insulation: never re-use water damaged insulation. Open vents in spring, close in fall.
6) Make sure all areas are available for inspection: clear out closets for crawlspace and attic access, move items well away from the electrical panel(s), make arrangements for pets so the inspector can stay on task and not worry about them escaping or getting in the way.

Sometimes I wish I could just be 100% honest. It is difficult to sugar coat some things I see.
